Lies on the Line

Lawrence Gordon installs telephones, still a novel item for most households in the 60s. However, his motive for doing so is not for the benefit of his customers. Using the telephone system, he taps into private phone calls out of an insatiable need to discover domestic indiscretions. His base of operation is his childhood home, a home haunted by unpleasant memories that motivate him in his mission. In one instance, Lawrence instals a new phone in the stylish home of Lesley Morris, a young woman who tires of her unfeeling husband. She, like all of Lawrence’s victims, is oblivious to his spying and has no idea that her own secrets are threatened to come to hideous light.

Hardangerfolk

Øivind Tangstad grew up on the slopes of the Hardangervidda, Europe's highest plateau and one of its greatest wildernesses. He took inspiration from one of the most thrilling and heroic adventure stories of the modern era, where in the winter of early 1943, 12 Norwegian Resistance members skied over 600km across the plateau to prevent the creation of an atomic bomb.

To mark the 80th anniversary of this astounding tale, which has become folklore in Norway, Øivind is leading an international expeditionary team to retrace their footsteps, from the assault on the Rjukan valley, across Europe’s wildest plateau, and over the Swedish border hundreds of kilometres away.

‘Hardangerfolk’ is a documentary which shows how, at a time when war and oppression are once again gripping Europe, this inspirational story is more relevant than it has ever been.
